That shimmer looks awesome! Did you buy the chemi pure locally?

[Drift Monkey]

Yeah, it looks even better in person too! I ordered the chemi-pure (along with the rest of the stuff) online man.

She gave me crabs! omgomgomg


Chillin' in their new home. One have them has since hosted one of my 'shrooms...:happy:

Also, I bought some shrimp pellets and fed my tank today...man that nassarius comes up quick! My candy canes gobbled whole pellets! The palys wolfed down their pellets with the quickness. I even got a couple shrooms in on the action. I swear they all look bigger/more plump now... I was even able to get one of the porcelain crabs to eat some of the pellety goodness! B)

Did you put GSP around the output of your powerhead? Haha, those crabs look tight, keep the updates coming!

[Drift Monkey]

I sure did...not sure if it'll take though...it still hasn't opened up. The crabs are awesome, lovin' 'em so far!

[Zack]

GSP usually takes a couple days to open up fully. Man, I can't wait to get my Par38.. Still need to show you my tank lol!

[Drift Monkey]

Did you order it yet?
